is Brandon Stokley the best 3rd receiver of all time ?

[WorldNumberOne]

i for the life of me cant come up with another team that had a 3rd receiver as good as him.

did the pittsburgh teams have anybody else besides swann and stallworth ? was frank mills his name ?

did the dolphin teams have 3 guys ?

cowboys had lance rentzel , but he was a flasher so i cant count him.

anybody ??

"world", "number one" QB in the league throwing to him. I'm sure that has a lot to do with it..........:>Grin>

 

[GAMEFACE]

He's real good, always making plays, solid hands.

 

[Journeyman]

The Steelers had Jimmy Smith who had some solid years as the third guy, also Frank Lewis was on those mis 70's teams...

But they threw so much less back then, hell Stokely has caught more balls than Lynn Swann did most of his banner seasons..

 

[HacheMan]

Tricky question........third stringers many times eventually become starters.........

 

[Journeyman]

In 1975 the great Lynn Swann caught just 49 receptions for 781 yards averaging 15.9 YPC and 11 Tds...

aw, frank lewis.. i knew it was frank someone..

i dont think there has been a trio like these guys ever. no doubt having manning is huge.

 

[Fishhead]

Yes, PAUL COFFMAN

JAMES LOFTON
JOHN JEFFERSON
PAUL COFFMAN

The most dynamic trio in the history of the game.

 

[Jarbo]

What about the Fun Bunch for the Redskins? I can't remember all of the names however.

If your going to throw tight ends in I can think of quite a few aerial shows lol

 

[WorldNumberOne]

no tight ends.. different topic all together

 

[Fishhead]

Back to the COLTS for a second...............look at their 4th and 5th recievers!!

MARCUS POLLARD and DALLAS CLARK at the tight end position.

CLARK actually LEADS the Colts in yards per catch at 17.5 per grab!!

AMAZING!

 

[WorldNumberOne]

you want to switch it up to best receiver corp including tight ends .

raider teams . branch, freddie and casper

charger teams . jefferson, chandler and winslow

bring it ....

 

[Journeyman]

Jefferson, Joiner, Winslow...They caught a boatload of passes back then....One of the first teams to go pass happy...

 

[Fishhead]

who the hell is paul coffman ?


you stumped me there.

PRO BOWL TE for the PACKERS for three straight seasons..........1982-84

Coupled with LOFTON and JEFFERSON, they were the best trio i have seen in my lifetime.

Not really amazing.

Clark was an Iowa Hawkeye!!! :banger:

 

[Journeyman]

WNO, I dont think Wes Chandler and John Jefferson actually played together though...Charlie Joiner was in the mix.

 

[TheGeneral+]

Troy Walters is a nice fit also, but since his injury hasn't been used alot at WR.

 

[WorldNumberOne]

actually joiner and chandler played together the longest. jefferson was only there from 78 to 80.
